seems the answer was already here 🙂
-
Might mean in chinese "Beginning (始) of Zhou (周) Dynasty" Tho would mean that's a really old guard
-
It was up for sale before, it's in good conditions and from the same maker, hard to tell if was born as daisho but it's a nice set nonetheless
-
Maybe they were shipped to Osaka freshly made and got damaged in the trip Seems that school only worked on iron
-
Yes, there's another one as well from same school but both have some corrosion problem unfortunately. Seems that saying about corrosion is real
-
Thank you, i read somewhere these are quite prone to corrosion, so it's always good to find a well preserved one
-
Indeed it is, in hand is even better cause you can appreciate the precision and depth of the engraving even more
-
I saw those as well, the Bonhams one someone made a great score. The second one is badly corroded, last kanji is hardly readable so they made a guess i think, but to me should be the late Edo Tomohisa (same as the published one in my article)
-
Thank you Dale, i actually know those but i deliberately excluded cause not signed. Actually i have other signed examples but since the workmanship and subject are the same i thought no need to include those.
-
Recently i made a research on the subject depicted on the following tsuba made by Yaji Tomoyuki (八道友之) that i currently own, since i thought it was quite interesting what i found i made an article about it. Feel free to download it and i'd be happy to hear your thoughts about it. Chōshū Yaji research.pdf

Bishu Osafune ju Sukesada Tenbun 21 a day in the 8th month
-
My guess seeing the oxidation and the construction is that probably comes from a statue
-
Interesting concept and execution, among fittings i saw only menuki depicting tsuba before
-
Because that writing is just the cursive for the same kanji

Is this some kind of repair job?

Is been done before, read "episode 11" -
Ichi Tomonari gojūroku-daison Bizen Osafune-shi – Yokoyama Kaga no Suke Fujiwara Sukenaga saku (一友成五十六代孫備前長船士・横山加賀介藤原祐永作)
-
I have some extra i can share and since i'm in the EU you won't have customs fees
-
More than Gassan this looks more like Shitahara, also nakago shape would fit
-
i read 一風子 (Ippushi? child of Ippu?) can't find any artist with that name, the only similar is 一風 "Ippu"
-
It doesn't say anything about Soshu or Masamune anywhere, on the hakogaki it actually says "Awataguchi" 粟田口
-
From the research i did online for a name with those specific kanji they all turn out as Yoshimasa, so i'm quite confident that would be it
-
The most likely pronunciation of 祥正 i think would be "Yoshimasa"
-
I do use Wise, very convenient and fast also to transfer money to Japan. A suggestion when sending money to Japan, ask for kanji/katakana account name or it can cause problems for transfer. i leave you my link so you can have a free transfer up to 500€ (and i can get some cashback ) https://wise.com/invite/u/manuelc927

looks like 需應佐々木重輔 which should mean "on request of Sasaki Shigesuke (or Jusuke)" Seems he liked his swords being custom made https://jref.com/threads/request-for-help-translating-kanji.251744/ https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/33601-help-needed-with-mei/
